AI Article Synopsis
- A critical review assessed a system of 41 indicators developed in 2007 with the UN to monitor municipal responses to domestic violence and child sexual exploitation.
- The evaluation used criteria like validity, reliability, and social relevance, focusing on data from three cities in Rio de Janeiro.
- The findings revealed challenges in using the indicators, such as insufficient and poor-quality data, leading to a revised system of 32 indicators aimed at improving municipal strategies for addressing these issues.
Article Abstract
A critical review of a descriptive/discursive nature was conducted to analyze the methodological performance of a system of 41 indicators created in 2007 in partnership with the United Nations Fund for Children. It was geared to the monitoring and analysis for evaluating the performance of municipalities in addressing domestic violence and the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents. The following criteria were considered in the evaluation: validity, reliability, sensitivity, communication, social relevance and feasibility of obtaining data. Each indicator was analyzed individually, based on the comparison of research results in three cities in the state of Rio de Janeiro: Rio de Janeiro, Belford Roxo and São Gonçalo. The difficulties encountered in the application of the indicators were the lack of data for their calculation and the low quality of institutional records. The article presents the revised system of 32 indicators as a management tool for the evaluation and monitoring of municipal strategies for coping with family violence and the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents. These included prevention, attention to children and family members, qualification of notification and registration, bolstering the rights assurance system and accountability for perpetrators.

Low-loss microwave dielectrics are of significant importance for the miniaturization and integration of microwave devices. In this paper, the ceramics of nominal composition MgTiO ( = 3-6) are synthesized, and the correlations among their phase compositions, defect behaviors, and microwave dielectric properties are systematically investigated. The analyses indicate that the MgTiO ceramics are a biphasic system consisting of hexagonal ilmenite-structured MgTiO and cubic spinel-structured MgTiO.

Purpose: Perfusion modeling presents significant opportunities for imaging biomarker development in breast cancer but has historically been held back by the need for data beyond the clinical standard of care (SoC) and uncertainty in the interpretability of results. We aimed to design a perfusion model applicable to breast cancer SoC dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) series with results stable to low temporal resolution imaging, comparable with published results using full-resolution DCE-MRI, and correlative with orthogonal imaging modalities indicative of biophysical markers.
Methods: Subsampled high-temporal-resolution DCE-MRI series were run through our perfusion model and resulting fits were compared for consistency.

Objective: The National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD) is a nonprofit organization that supports state and territorial chronic disease prevention and health promotion efforts through capacity building and technical assistance. Each year, NACDD surveys health department leaders who oversee chronic disease prevention and health promotion (hereafter, Chronic Disease Directors). We have previously used the annual survey results to inform strategic planning and resource allocation but have not historically published key findings in the peer-reviewed literature.

Naturally evolved and synthetically designed forms of compartmentalization benefit encapsulated function by increasing local concentrations of substrates and protecting cargo from destabilizing environments and inhibitors. Crucial to understanding the fundamental principles of compartmentalization are experimental systems enabling the measurement of the permeability rates of small molecules. Here, we report the experimental measurement of the small-molecule permeability of a 40 nm icosahedral bacterial microcompartment shell.
